    • Region to report on programs collected in the named CICS® regions (wildcard character mask allowed '*'). If you set the CICS TS level in the Region field, the report displays the threadsafe information for programs that belong to regions of that CICS release.
    • Program to report on commands collected for the named programs (wildcard character mask allowed '*').
    • CICS TS level to get the threadsafe information only for the set of commands that are available in that CICS TS release.
